Labouring Petals

During the course of this Labour Day week-end, the gladioli in our front yard have started blooming. On Saturday, only small buds were peeking through and so, ironically enough, it was a labour-filled week-end for them to transform into these incredibly beautiful flowers.

In between the bouts of blinding sunshine and heavy rain that we've had all week-end, I had a lot of fun documenting the process, and I can't wait to see all the buds blooming into these gorgeous, orange-hued flowers; we're bound to have some very colourful few weeks ahead!
